Once every 2-3 days, I 'll get the weather lockscreen, instead of the one I have chosen. It's not annoying, but have you guys noticed anything like that?
go to the weather app-> settings-> untick the last option

Yes I do. For me it's a little bit odd.
It's not persistent though since once I unlocks it and put the phone into standby and wakes it up again it's back to the screen I have choosen. But once in a while the weather lockscreen pops back up again.
Oh.... so it's some kind of notification for todays weather? And here I thought it was some kind of bug... heheheh
Now I just wish there was an easy way to put the weather widget on any kind of lockscreen... so far I haven't got to customize the lockscreens with widgets...

Took me a while to work that out.
When you are in the live wallpaper selection screen, scroll to the weather wallpaper, hit "preview" and then you will find a "settings" button. Low and behold there is a tickbox to turn the sound off.
Out of interest, do you find that the weather live wallpaper (and in fact all live wallpapers) reduce the framerate of the carousel after a while. It seems fine to start with but then slows things down. I would really like to use the weather wallpaper but low frame rates annoy me - as it makes the phone look slow when I am showing it off.
Thanks for the solution, been annoying me since I got the thing. Now just need to solve the car dock issues
You cold just open weather app, go to settings, untick last option .
Thanks freco, but that does not work. If you have weather background set the only way to get rid of the sound effectst is via the background/preview/ settings.
The easiest way to do it is to remove the clock widget from the homescreen and then add it back. When you add the clock widget back to the homescreen it will give you the option for the weather animation and sound. I would just remove the animation all together. There really is no point to it and its using precious resources.

Has anyone run across an alternative weather sound set for the Sensation?
The "Sunny Day" sound effect is almost as annoying as fingernails on a
chalkboard to me. The rest are ok.
Even if you happen to know the name of the file and it's location would be
helpful (I could try deleting that sound alone and cross fingers that it doesn't
eff up forcing me to reflash).
Thanks.
What is the service called so I can freeze it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You cant freeze that. There is nothing to freeze.
Why not just go to the Security portion of settings and disable the lockscreen? Just dont put any pattern, pin, or anything. Then anytime you lock the screen it just powers down the screen, hit the power button and its back on, no lock screens of any kinds.

Thanks.
But I want a lockscreen.
I use WidgetLocker and every once in awhile, I get the stock lockscreen and have to swipe it away, then I get the Widgetlocker screen immediately after and have to swipe that away also.
And a couple other buggy type gremlin stuff. Nothing serious, just bits of annoying.
So it would be easier if I could just delete or freeze the stock lockscreen.

Your not going to be able to freeze it because its not really an app to freeze. Its part of the android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk file. This is what the rom makers mess with when they forcing say the AOSP lockscreen.
As far as why the stock one keeps showing up, something is not right, if you set the lockscreen to none on the security settings, then the widgetlocker should be the only one showing up, you shouldnt have two lockscreens. That only happens if you have the security set to a native lockscreen and then widget locker is sitting on top of that.

Huh, if that's the way it's supposed to be done, then I wonder why WidgetLocker doesn't do it for me.
I just turned off the lockscreen in security (I think) and WidgetLocker is still working. I assumed it would be disabled also, if I turned off lockscreen. We'll see if this does the trick. Thanks.
The lockscreen settings in the settings tab only affects the original one, it cant adjust the widgetlocker one. It doesnt even know about that.
So if you removed the lockscreen from settings, it wont show the original samsung one anymore. If they still have Widgetlocker installed and enabled, it will then be your lockscreen. If you dont want that, then you need to disable Widgetlocker and either get another one you like or put the samsung one back on since you said you still want some type of lock screen, otherwise you wont have any lock screen, just a screen power off.
The lockscreen apps unfortunately cant modify the existing base OS code, they litterally just sit on top of the existing one and sort of inject themselves in there by you giving them the default. But if the stock/samsung one is enabled it still goes into effect, thats why you end up with two lockscreens. So basically you need to enable just one of them.

Yeah, that works up until a reboot. Then the stock one pops up again

Yep, it looks like you can disable any security settings that pertain to the default lockscreen. Like removing a pin, or special drawing function to unlock.
But it doesn't actually remove the lockscreen itself.
So I tried "No Lock":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nolock&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
This completely disables the default lockscreen.
But on reboot, you still see the lockscreen for like two seconds, then it goes away on its own.
I'll try this combo with WidgetLocker for awhile to see how it works. So far so good, but the real test will be over a few days use.
Sometimes that stock lock screen would come up when I bring the phone out of deep sleep. It's fairly rare, just enough to be a small annoyance.

Are you on a rom with 14 toggle? If It has a locksreen toggle, thats what I used when I used golocker. It never showed stock, except on a reboot.
I use a pin number to unlock my phone. I also have the cLock weather widget on my homescreen. I've noticed that the weather widget only shows on my lockscreen every other time I lock the phone. So if I lock the phone for the first time, the weather widget will appear on my lockscreen. Then, if I unlock my phone and lock it again, the weather widget will disappear. This will repeat indefinitely (alternately showing and hiding the weather widget.)
The attached screenshots are from two consecutive unlock/locks, taken a few seconds apart. As you can see, one has the weather widget one does not.
Anyone else seeing this? Is this something to do with my settings or a bug?
EDIT: by the way, I'm on Cory's unofficial version, 6/10 build. The behavior has existed for many builds, dating back even to the official nightlies.

I could never even get cLock to get my weather location so I imagine it's a bug... I could be wrong of course.
I just used Dashclock instead.
dashclock is pretty nice

thanks for the recommendation.
I didn't really know what to search to find an answer to this question, so I'm sorry if it has already been posted. I have a full stock nexus and the default launcher, sometimes I notice a little + sign where the home screen indicators are. I know it's used to add a new home screen, but I don't want it there. And when I scroll all the way to the right there's an extra blank home screen. Does anyone know if it's possible to get rid of this?
Question 2: I have a repeating alarm set every morning with the stock alarm app. I've noticed that sometimes the alarm icon in the notification bar will disappear, and only come back up if I tap on the alarm in quick settings. The alarm is still set and still goes off.
Neither of these are really issues, just nuisances, and for all I know they could be "features". But any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
for #1, just place something on the homescreen then remove the item.

I just noticed #2 happening on my N5 as well. I figured maybe it was because I have made some status bar changes with Xposed Framework + Gravity Box, but I guess not. Probably a bug of some sort. What's weird is I've seen it come and go randomly too when just looking at my screen. Oh well. Kind of bugs me, but not a huge deal since my alarm still goes off every morning.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 5. I guess it's more of an annoyance than a problem.
I have had this problem for a while now, usually goes away if I bring an icon over to a new page then back, or if I restart my phone.
I have since switched back to Nova as they have implemented many kit kat GEL like additions, and I used this on my nexus 4, missed a lot of the swipe features and icon packs
home screen
You restore you N5 in the company setting....
Many be Issue is the some missing file....
I've had the problem with the blank home page several times on my N5 and adding/removing an item to the page removes it. It's always a extra page to the right of the last active page.
I have a daily recurring alarm and I only see the alarm icon two hours before the set time. In the notifications I have the option to dismiss the alarm early.
I do have an issue with HD Widgets which lives on the home (first) screen. Sometimes the widget becomes embedded on the page -- I will see what appears to be overlaid images. I first noticed what appeared to be two sets of temperatures (I use the weather widget with three or five day forecast). The easiest way to correct the problem is to drag the widget to a new page at the end, delete the home page which now displays the widget as a background image, then re-order the pages. This has never occurred on my N4 or N7 which are set up similarly except that the home page is the middle page.
Has anyone figured out how to get the Google current weather to show up as a notification on the Lollipop lockscreen? I would like to see it there on top all the time.

In google now options activate weather for your location. Then on lock screen pull down as if expanding notifications and it should pop up.
Good luck.
In Google Now, "Interested in weather updates for your location?" is set to Yes. On the lockscreen, there is nothing to pull down. The clock and date are in the center of the lockscreen and when I swip down, they just pulsate once.

Sorry bare with me. I managed to get it there but once swiped away it disappeared. Think it must have just been a notification thing. Sorry. I use beautiful widgets from play store for mine. I know its not what your after but its an alternative.
I just got it once here also. I tapped on it and it opened Google Now. Now it is gone from the lockscreen again. I guess once it is there...you can't tap it. I used Beautiful Widgets before and also DashClock but the weather was different with those since they don't use the same provider as Google Now. It was a notification that I had since Lollipop doesn't support lockscreen widgets that I know of.
How are you keeping the Beautiful Widgets on your lockscreen? Is it a notification?
Google now weather
I have also experienced the disappearing Google Now 'current weather' notification in lockscreen on both my nexus 5 devices. It showed up on the lockscreen one time after pulling down on the time but after unlocking my screen and relocking the device i have never been able to replicate the weather notification
The notification has come back on mine. If you swipe it away or reboot your phone, it seems to come back sometime within the next hour or so.
I use 1weather it's good for me
